MIR. Evarts Got a Reply.


A correspondent who has been readin
the anecdotes about senators In our last
number was an eye witness to the following
occurrence:
At New York city, In the fall Of 1856, a
case was was tried before Judge Sutherland
in which the law firm Of Eyarts, South
mayd ~ Choate appeared for the defense.
Mr.. Eynrts made the concluding argument,
and the fame OF the great counselor secured
for him considerable audience Of lawyers
from neighboripg courts, In addition to
many persons who had more or less interest
In the proceedings.
Mr.. Eyarts had been speaking for some
hours and was evidently nearing his peror-
alton. He began to sum up his arguments,
and asked impressiyely what answer could
be made to them. Again he placed the
points In lucid array, and again asked a
similar question. Then third time he re-
stated his case with vividaeloquence, and
once more, In louder tones, wound up with:
"What is their answerHn
He paused. You could have heard pin
drop. Suddenly the door OF the courtroom
opened, and peddler, sticking his head
and feather dusver into the opening, cried
out:
"Broomsl"
In moment the room was ringing with
uncomfortable laughter In which everybody
| joined-oven the Judge on the bench and
the orator himself, Mr.. Evarts, however
kept on his feet, and was the first TO recover
composure. With his hand raised to com
mand attention, as the roar subsidized, hi
said solemnly:
"That was not, indeed the answer which
expected. But you may rest assured
that when you do get their answer yor
will find It equally frivolous aud incon-
sequent."

Walking the Water.

Young Clarence Whistler again attempted
his experiment OF walking the water yestor
day. lie succeeded. The basin formed
by the two piers at the foot OF Washing
ton street was his arena. lie did not
walk to Goat Island, but confined his
aquatic pedestranlsm TO the space men
toned. lie had about twenty spectators.
His shoes were the same he used on
Tuesday, which were described In these
columns. Whistler built them himself.
They are modelled upon the Monitor type
OF naval craft. The turrets are square.
Into them he inserts, his feet. The re-
mainder OF the space is honeycombed with
alright compartments, and zinc flaps are
hinged on the bottom. These nautical shoes
weigh nineteen pounds each, and the
wearer simply stands erect and slides Tor
ward, one foot serving as leverage for the
other. In motion, the zinc flaps lie nat In
the water. Upon hating they fall, acting
| as q breakwater and preventing the walker
from being carried backward.
Whistler walked yesterday without a
balance-pole, and for twenty minutes
walked with ease. lie moved about sixty
feet from the wharf, and met with no mis-
hap. The crowd cheered the slender look
ing youngster.
He proposes to give an exhibition OF
aquatic pedestrianism of the Clln House,
and to take knife along with him to kill
any seals which might attempt to dispute
bis progress. His next feat will be to walk
on the river from Sacramento to the bay OF
San Francisco.
Whistler was born In this city, is nearly
nineteen years OF age, and has given sue
cessful exhibitions OF his water-walking on
| the Harlem river.

AFTER FORTY SIX YEARS
Mrs. George N. Beale Obtains Justice
In the DIyision OF an Estate,


In the case Of Mrs. George N. Beale
against her cousin George w. Brown and
his brothers, TO recover possession Of one
half undivided interest In nearly the whole
Of the north half Of square 275 in this city,
and bounded by T, Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets northwest, which has been on trial
before Justice Cox In circuit court No l
during the past two or three days, the jury
yesterday rendered verdict in favor OF
Mrs. Beale.
In 1888 Mr.. Thomas b. Brown, an uncle
OF Mrs. Beale, died in Lafayette, Indiana,
never having been married and intestate,
and the owner of the property mentioned,
which he had purchased In 1882. He left
Mrs. Beale, the only surviving child OF his
deceased sister, Mrs. Mary T.. Wheeler and
the late Col. John II. Wheeler, and the late
DR.. VIM. V. II. Brown, a brother, his only
Brown the property descended in equal
shares. DIR. Brown died In 1869, leaving
four children, to whom his share descended.
When her uncle Thomas d. Brown died,
Mrs. Beale was only six years old, and,
when she was about ten years Of age, In
1912, the property was sold for taxes that
fell due after her uncle Thomas's death,
and was purchased by her grandfather, the
late Rev. Obadiah Is. Brown, who. In 1916
father conveyed his interest under the tax
deed In consideration OF one dollar to his
son, DR.. Brown.
In the early part OF 1894, about 46 years
| after she had become the absolute owner o!
the property as one Of the heirs OF hel
uncle Thomas, Mrs. Beale first learned thai
she had any interest in the property, and II
April OF that year commenced suit to re
| cover her one half interest. Her cousins At
tempted to defeat her claim through th,
tax deed mentioned, but Justice Cox hello
| that the tax deed was void, and the jur,
having found that Mrs. Beale was one o
the heirs OF her uncle Thomas, as stated
gave their verdict 10 her favor. The who'll
property is now estimated to be worth iron
$4,000 to $4,000, Mrs. Beale's portion be
ing one-half. Mr. Davidge and Mossr
Edwards & Barnard represented Mrs
Beale, and Mr.. Garnet and Conway Robin
son the Browns.

lnDIAHAPoLIs, juno 16.-It took twelve In

one of the most exciting contests ever wit
messed on the home grounds. Neither side
scored until the second inning, when Indiana
polls made run on Bassett's base on balls, q
stolen base, and Cahill's single to right field.
The following innings were blanks until the
fifth, when Pittsbnrg took the lead by making
two runs on McKinnon's SINGLE Kuehne's base
on balls, and McCormick's double. When the
ninth inning opened, the score still stood as 1t
did at the end Of the fifth, and as Deany step.

for home run. The words had hardly been
spoken when the ball went sailing over the

BOSTON, MASS, July LEONE of the best
games played here this season was that be-
tween the Bostons and New Yorks this after
noon. The game was close up to the sixth
inning, when heavy batting by the home club
and errors by the visitors placed the former In
the lead. The New Yorks played a plucky,
though losing game, Hornung batted heavily,
and In the seventh inning made phenomenal
catch of a low hit, turning complete somer-
sault in the effort. He followed Immediately
with home run, and when Kelly repeated
the latter performance there was pande
monium. Wise made two wonderful left

SHE WAS A CHEMICAL PRODUCT
A Medicatsd Bath which Turned q
Woman as Black as Ink.

1t is reported Of pretty Parislenne who
was in the habit OF embarrassing" herself,
SO to speak, from the coles Of her feet to the
roots OF her hair with chemically prepared
cosmetics, that she took indicated bath
one day and emerged as black as ink. Hor-
rined, she sent for her doctor. On seeing
her he laughed as though he would never
stop, but at last found voice to say;
MADAME, you are not i'll; you are chem
zeal product. You are no longer woman,
but 'sulphide.' II Is not now a question
OF medical treatment, but a simple chemical
reaction. shall subject you to bath OF
sulphuric acid diluted with water. The
acid will have the honor OF combining with
you, II will take up the sulphur, the metal
will produce a 'sulphate,' and we shall find
rs a 'precipitate' u very pretty woman"
The doctor went through with his "reqc.
tlon," and the "bellen was restored to her
membership with the white race.

WATER MAIN BURSTED.
The Break VIII Probably BIO Repaired
by TO-Night.

About 8 o'clock yesterday morning a
police officer discovered stream of water
bubbling up through the roots of tree on
L street, between Twenty-frst and Twenty
second streets. The matter was immedls
ately reported to Capt: Symons, of the en-
gineer Office, and In little while as large a
force of men as could be employed were
hard at work under the direction OF Supt.
Hayden, endeavoring to locate the break in
the main, which underlies l. street. The
break is about 20 feet from the one which
caused the water famine In the northern
part of the city some few weeks since.
Unfortunately this main supplies larger
portion Of the population with water than
any Of the others connected with thesreser-
voir. At o'clock last night the water was
cut off and the force was busily engaged all
night In stopping the leak. 1t is probable
that the pumps of the northern part of the
city will be worked without cessation until
this evening, by which time the main may
possibly be repaired.
